Ranging from four day-long weekend getaways to more extended breaks, you could save up to £250 per booking (and more if you are lucky) if you spend £2,500 in the Live Happy Sale. Whether it’s a beach-based summer holiday to Spain or a glorious few days in Portugal, we’ve handpicked the best (and highest rated) deals ranging from May until October this year – and some don’t even require a deposit at all.

Located 3km from the heart of Sorrento, Hotel La Solara is ideally located to explore the famously picturesque coastal towns of the Amalfi coast. Or, if you want to stay put, the views the hotel has of Naples – surrounded by olive trees and lemon orchards – is just as much of a perk. Think of those early evenings with a few Italian aperitivos.
